Common problems we fix in Llwynhendy

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Chips around the rim
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A crack near the taps
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Before you book anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Llwynhendy

  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
